For a few years my rule has been "If you're using a tool then you must wear your glasses." This happened after I spent two hours fixing a leaf blower because I kept setting the choke wrong. I couldn't believe the up position meant no choke. My eyeballs almost popped out against my glasses once I had them on during the last reassembly.
I've been wearing the same tool room glasses for over 20 years. I'm thinking that my 75 year reward will be the laser eye treatment.
